Vasyli Dananberg First Ray Orthotic

Vasyli Dananberg First Ray Orthotic

• Designed for patients with first ray dysfunction that leads to hallux limitus
• Both plugs can be removed in cases where maximum effect is required, such as with structural hallux limitus (SHL) 
• Removing both plugs enhances first ray function by offering a larger path of least resistance to the joint 
• Reduces the force required to dorsiflex the great toe 
• Increase range of motion of the great toe joint 
• Sorbon shock heel dot dissipates force along the angle of strike 
• Allows the user to tune the function of the first ray by using the proximal and distal plugs to raise or lower the first ray 
• Can be easily heat molded with a standard heat gun and further customized using Vasyli posting pieces 
• Triplanar motion control to control foot function in all the 3 cardinal planes - Frontal, Transverse, Sagittal 
• High degree of metatarsal control 
• Custom Fit Shoe for diabetes 
• Top cover is nylon brushed

		To accommodate variations in the length of foot and toes of a patient, plugs can be removed when fitting the orthotic, ensuring that the head of the first metatarsophalangeal joint (MPJ) coincides with the plug removed.
		Here the patient is diagnosed with Functional Hallitus LImitus (FHL). The Vasyli Dananberg First Ray Orthotic enhances first ray plantar flexion, thereby reducing the force required to dorsiflex the great toe. These images depict a 40% reduction in force under the great toe during end-stage propulsion.
